my guess is it is deemed the best policy is to autoscrub the words and approve the odd situation where it is appropriate i dont think the word nigger is inherently bad but i wouldnt feel upset if a forum automatically scrubbed it because it most often doesnt accompany what most users would consider a constructive addition to the conversation in the off chance it actually adds anything it could be reapproved im not sure how i feel about ops case though as its a human removing what is a fairly harmless joke on one hand its not like rworldnews has lost its integrity removing jokes but on the other i dont imagine too much negative affect on the sub if they just let them be and let the voting system do its work
